Topic: I'm in the market for a new phone.

Catherine !TGirlYJKXM started this discussion 8 years ago #71,076

And I am honestly considering on possibly doing a contract plan that could get me a top level phone like an iPhone since I can understand why someone would want one especially after dealing with cheap Wal-Mart phones. I've decided that I will not disqualify Apple anymore just for the sake that they are Apple and have a cringy yet successful marketing team.

I have the Wal-Mart Family Mobile Plan and I saw that they have an Apple iPhone SE, which is essentially an iPhone 6s inside of the body of an iPhone 5, for around $159. My usual budget for a phone tends to be $200 at maximum.

I heard at least three people tell me that once they switched to an Apple phone they became admirers of their product quality. Can anyone here recommend that phone?

I've always used Samsung and love them. Fast, reliable and they have everything you need plus Google maps is better than Apple maps as well as Spotify being better than itunes. Currently got the galaxy 8 used to the the 6 which is still a great phone.

Can't you still download the Google Maps and Spotify apps for Apple phones though?

Yes I guess you can and I'm probably being bias as I've only owned a Samsung but after years if Samsung ownership I've never had a complaint

Cathy Apple phones of the future may not fill up my wallet so much anymore.
Samsung DOES - One model was even successful at offer a Bar-B-Q built in Recently Apple cannot make such claim.

Ouch - They hold up well enough to fill many a wallet by the parts makers and people now form lines to buy the new ones.

The iPhone SE is apparently two years old since it was made available to the public on 31 March 2016.

a phone is a 150 monthly cost for the ability to tell people to "fuck off I'm busy" every two minutes
